OpenHands
AI-driven development platform
OpenHands is an open-source platform for coding agents that take on real development tasks: working on issues, writing tests, refactoring code and opening pull requests. The agents run locally, in OpenHands Cloud or self-hosted and work with different model providers. An enterprise version with additional features and support is available for companies.
